The hours grow shorter as the days go byYou never get to stop and open your eyesOne day you're waiting for the sky to fallThe next you're dazzled by the beauty of it allWhen you're lovers in a dangerous timeLovers in a dangerous timeThese fragile bodies of touch and tasteThis vibrant skin, this hair like laceSpirits open to the thrust of graceNever a breath you can afford to wasteWhen you're lovers in a dangerous timeLovers in a dangerous timeLovers in a dangerous timeLovers in a dangerous timeWhen you're lovers in a dangerous timeSometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crimeBut nothing worth having comes without some kind of fightYou got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylightWhen you're lovers in a dangerous timeLovers in a dangerous timeLovers in a dangerous timeLovers in a dangerous time
